Spedan join NQA Register

Spedan News / Friday 2nd of September 2016

We are delighted to announce that our application to join the NQA Associate Consultant Register was accepted yesterday.

NQA are a leading Certification Body who provide accredited certification, training and support services to help improve processes, performance and products & services. They have issued over 33,000 certificates to clients in over 70 countries.

Their philosophy is,

“Every business can do better, consistently, continually and sustainably. That’s what we believe at NQA and it’s what we’re here to help achieve. Our assessment, certification and training services enable businesses to implement change, improve management systems and build for future success.”

Because NQA are a Certification Body, in accordance with the accreditation standard ISO 17021:2011 they do not provide consultancy in order to remain impartial from management systems implementation.

However, they work in close partnership with consultants who can play a crucial role in helping to implement these management systems.

That’s where Spedan comes in.

Chris Reading, Director at Spedan said that “the mission of the two companies is clearly aligned in helping organisations of all sizes perform better and develop their businesses through implementation and maintenance of quality, environment, information security and sustainability standards.

Like NQA, Spedan want to grow long term relations with clients, so that business improvements can develop over many years. If you are looking to implement ISO Standards, or need to transition to the 2015 versions of the standards, then Spedan are ideally placed to assist you on that journey.”

As Management Systems (MS) consultants, Spedan work with business leaders and their teams to design quality, environmental or other systems that are efficient and helps maintain and grow a satisfied customer base.

They work with teams at all levels of the organisation, collaborating on leadership commitment and engagement, and ensuring that the behaviours of the team, processes and supporting systems in the business are effective and adding value to the organisation.

Spedan support continuous improvement programmes at a pace and budget to suit the scale and scope of the business need. This is achieved through practical onsite reviews, audits and targeted projects.

Through assessment of existing systems, or developing from scratch, Spedan can prepare businesses for successful outcomes with audits from Certification Bodies like NQA.
